It seems whenever we hear new music from Shifted on Avian it comes in two parts. The last time the UK producer surfaced on his label was for The Cold Lights 1 and 2 and keeping to a greyscale theme, Guy Brewer unleashed this first 12″ of Arrangements In Monochrome. It’s more serious, glitchy and rock hard techno from the Berlin ex-pat with “You’re A Replacement” opening this second double dose with a whirling concoction of industrial atmospheres that sound as though they’ve come from an underground network of drillers mining for uranium. This moves into “Arrangement In Monochrome I”, a track which sizzles and burns like a freshly re-cut slab of DJ Slip’s “Every time It Takes Awhile”. “6ft Of Silence” is fresh and disgruntled looping techno – good enough to be a locked groove – whereas “The Velvet Rope” roars like a steel grinder cutting through a bolder of iron ore.
